Pressure reducer ozone cleaner solution: the permanent fix for excessive water pressure

Shutting off after use is the most direct measure against pressure-related damage to the ozone cleaner. But for users where water pressure is structurally above three bar, an additional permanent solution is desirable. That solution exists: a pressure reducer, also called a pressure-reducing valve, is a relatively simple and affordable installation component that automatically limits water pressure at the connection point to a set maximum value. A pressure reducer works on a mechanical principle. The valve contains an internal diaphragm or spring that regulates flow based on the pressure at the outlet side. As soon as the pressure at the outlet side reaches the set value, the opening in the valve narrows and restricts flow until the pressure drops again. The result is a constant maximum pressure at the outlet side, regardless of variations in pressure at the inlet side. For the ozone cleaner, a pressure reducer at the connection point means the device is never exposed to higher pressure than the set value. If that value is set at two or two and a half bar, the connection always falls well within the maximum working pressure specification of three bar. That also applies to night-time pressure peaks in the pipe network, peak pressures when other connections in the building are opened and fluctuations from changes to the distribution network. The pressure reducer eliminates all those variables in one step. A pressure reducer is installed on the water pipe, directly in front of the connection point of the device to be protected. In most cases, installation directly in front of the inlet valve of the ozone cleaner is the most logical location. Installation requires some plumbing experience and basic tools. In professional environments or in-building central installations, installation by a plumber or technical services is preferred. The cost of a pressure reducer is typically between twenty and fifty euros for the component itself. Including installation by a plumber, total costs are higher, but in most cases well below one hundred euros. That is a one-time investment that structurally and permanently resolves the pressure problem. A pressure reducer is a complement to the advice to shut off after use, not a replacement. Both measures are complementary: shutting off after use protects the inactive circuit, the pressure reducer also protects the system during use and at moments when shutting off has not been carried out. This article describes how a pressure reducer works, how and where it is installed, which specifications are relevant for the ozone cleaner and what the expected costs are.
